Posttraumatic stress disorder among female juvenile offenders.
J Am Acad Child Adolesc Psychiatry. 1998; (11): 1209-16
While there is a growing body of evidence that psychopathology is common among incarcerated boys, relatively little is known about the prevalence and manifestations of mental health problems among incarcerated girls. This study examines the incidence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in a sample of 96 adolescent female offenders and its relation to socioemotional adjustment.
